Abstract
A method of optimizing printing is applied to a printing apparatus and has following steps of retrieving an input image, executing a tagging process on the input image for tagging one of an edge tag, a fuzzy tag, and a photo tag on each sub-image of the input image, executing the different printing converting process on each sub-image according to its tag for obtaining a printable image, and printing according to the printable image. The present disclosed example can deepen the object edges in the image being printed, improving the image quality of non-edge regions, and improving the printing quality.
Claims15
A method of optimizing printing, comprising:
- a) retrieving an input image;
- b) executing a tagging process on the input image for setting a tag on each sub-image of the input image, wherein the tagging process is used to set an edge tag on the sub-image belonging to edge image, set a fuzzy tag on the sub-image belonging to fuzzy region, and set a photo tag on the sub-image belonging to photo region;
- c) executing a plurality of different printing converting processes on the sub-images based on the tag of each of the sub-images for converting the input image into a printable image, wherein the printing converting processes comprises a converting process of emphasizing edges for each sub-image with the edge tag, a fuzzy converting process for each sub-image with the fuzzy tag, and a converting process of smoothing for each sub-image with the photo tag;
- and
- d) controlling a printing apparatus to print based on the printable image.
